“I want to start by telling you what I told the boys. I entered the locker room and congratulated them. It was one of the best matches of the steel in recent history. Our satisfaction is that, after a losing match at home, a whole stadium applauded the players.
It is a very big thing and we thank the supporters. Everyone who saw the match saw that there was only one team on the field. All respect for Hermannstadt. At the first goal, an unfortunate rejection – we must also accept this part of football.
I have to talk a little with the boys. We had to have reaction after the first goal. Empty 2 came very quickly, on a situation that we have to manage better. Căbuz, the player of the match-Hermannstadt should make him a statue for this match. MVP from far away.
I am pleased with how I started the match, in the first half I categorically dominated. We did what we set out, we had an attitude, achievements, gateway, occasions, good reaction.
A very good match, with those little problems and much of us. I think, if I had a little more chance, I was talking from a different perspective now.
I am not able to tell you how many players will leave. All I can say is that the people in the club leaders are discussing with the exponential players we want on the team. I want to stay as many as possible.
A very good group was created. I have to emphasize their professionalism. Even if they are at the end of the contract – probably some of them have already been contacted by other teams – they are professional players and deserve all the appreciations. Play very well and put soul.
For me this matters a lot. The attitude comes from there. To play with your soul, to make people happy on a Sunday night … I saw people leaving the stadium even if we lost.
But we have to work better next week, eliminate some aspects of our game that have cost us today. Let's attract the chance on our side, ”Balint explained, at the first sport.
Today, Hermannstadt did not know any more shot in addition to the two goals. We had 15 shots on the gate, we demonstrated this today. We need to bring efficiency on our side. What happened tonight ambitrates us and more to win the next match.
We have shown that we are strong too, we can win in front of any opponent. He'll be even more ambitious about what happened tonight.
